Now many shops have started asking for mobile numbers from the customer before payment. So that the bill can be sent or the future offers can be shared. But do you know that it is not your responsibility to give mobile number at the behest of the shopkeeper.

Actually, many people are unaware that it is just an option to tell personal numbers. This is not necessary. If you refuse, the shopkeeper cannot refuse to give you the goods. In this digital era, the value of data has increased significantly. In such a situation, personal information like mobile number can reach the wrong hands many times.

This causes your privacy to dissolve. So the risk of cyber fraud also increases. If you do not want to tell the mobile number after shopping. And you are under pressure on the billing counter. Or is being asked to return the goods.

The government has implemented the Consumer Protection Act to protect the rights of customers in India. Under this law, the shopkeeper cannot refuse to give you service simply. Because you did not share the mobile number. If this happens, you can complain about it.

To file a complaint, you can call the helpline of National Consumer Helpline 1800-11-4000 or 1915. Or you can keep your point by going to consumerhelpline.gov.in. Apart from this, you can complain through the NCH app.

If you go to buy goods, become aware and recognize your rights. At a store, you should forcibly ask for a mobile number and do not pay the bill without giving the number. So, feel free to file a complaint about this. The store will get severe punishment.
